Desolation Publication Date Changed!

Hello children.

February already, is it? Dear lord, where does the time go?

Into the void, that's where. Into the void with all the PLANS we make and the PROMISES and the GOOD INTENTIONS and the LIES... Ahem.

I'm busy. I'm working away. On what? Different things. Some will see the light of day. Some will not.  That's what happens. I've pretty much started the third and final Demon Road book, which is good, since my deadline is HILARIOUSLY close and I have an awful lot of work to do. But there are so many distractions! So many different projects to work on!

But I must focus. I must.

So, right now, my publishers are busy nailing down UK and Ireland tour dates for Desolation. First thing I have to tell you is that the release date has been changed, pushing it back a week to April 7th. Not that much of a big deal, and there are a load of external factors involved in the decision. It was explained to me but I zoned out. It's something to do with... something. Anyway, whatever, it's out on the 7th, although it will be available to buy a few days earlier at certain locations on my tour.

So, roughly, from April 3rd to the 7th, I'll be in Oxford, Manchester (don't know if it'll be available to buy early here, will check), Liverpool, Birmingham and London. Irish dates include Dublin and Kilkenny so far, from the 8th to the 10th.

As soon as these things become solid, I'll post them.

We're doing our best to have something cool happen in London, so keep your eyes peeled, ladies and germs. Awesomeness awaits. And possibly nightmares. Which is awesome in itself.

(Yeah... I don't particularly care for the odd mistake... Especially just talking casually


How are you Noelle?)

Noelle said...

I me. And I don't think that, as me, and as knowing the blog ATM, it would be wise to answer with anything other than "me"

Inky Flame said...

(*nods* okay

*looks at the time* it's early, but I think I'll be off to bed now so I can work off the rest of this cold
Nos da peeps ^.^)

Bruadar Cadail said...

Noelle said...

*Loves Niccolò, and softly curls her body against his* *Is hurt*

Alastair Cruciatus said...

*cuddles gently* I'm sorry you're hurt.

Noelle said...

*Likes his cuddles* *hands him a little kiss for him to hold* *Its itty bitty, but cute, and his*

*loves fabu*

Alastair Cruciatus said...

Thank you. *keeps and adores the little kiss*

Noelle said...

*Snuggles a bit into his lap* *Hides her head in his ahoulder*

Alastair Cruciatus said...

*cuddles her*

Noelle said...

*That makes her happy* *Her fiancée* *Is also glad that he trusts her- it took her a lot of effort.* *It was hard to respect his boundaries* *But snuggles, now, and licks him softly*

Alastair Cruciatus said...

*he's grateful that she spent the effort on him, and returns the lick*

Inky Flame said...

(Hello

Happy Mother's Day!)

Inky Flame said...

(*sighs*
*is bored without Jack*)

Noelle said...

Noelle said...

I'm at my interview ✌🏼️ Fingers crossed

Star Inkbright said...

:) Good luck

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(Does anyone have any hints for memorizing two paragraphs and a half of French in one night?)

Star Inkbright said...

Well, I have the usual advice of "divide into bitesize chunks and know what all the words mean" . . .
Is it in the morning or the afternoon tomorrow?

Bruadar Cadail said...

pick out a few important bits. the real bones of the thing. it doesn't even have to be sentences, even if its just a group of words or a phrase. e.g if you're talking about a school uniform, you can remember the phrase "supprimer l'individualite". then, insert this into "la uniform sa supprime l'individulite" and, by extension, you can talk about "l'individualite c'est tres important pour moi..."
circumlocution and waffle. that's the thing. talk about the blindingly obvious. Dont forget you're allowed to talk slowly and with pauses, you don't need to rush., you can stretch out a small thing into a lot of BS.

Inky Flame said...

(*flies in on a small plane *)

Bruadar Cadail said...

(there's an owl in the tree by my window. its been hooting for about three hours now. it was nice at first, but now I'm starting to get a little irritated.)

Alastair Cruciatus said...

I wish you the best of luck, Noelle. You deserve it. *hugs gently*

Inky Flame said...

(Thou should borrow my dog for three hours XD he doesn't stop yapping XD )

Bruadar Cadail said...

(I'm on the verge of opening the window and jumping into the tree after it.)

Inky Flame said...

(We don't really get owls here... Mostly wood pigeons...
Owls are adorable!)

Bruadar Cadail said...

(adorable, but I'm starting to suspect they're also evil wee hooty things.)

Inky Flame said...

(Hehe XD becarwfyl! They may be out to get you!

A group of owls is called a parliament)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(I'm not that good at improvising French.)

Inky Flame said...

(I'm sorry but I'm off to revise
Bak!)

Bruadar Cadail said...

@jai(just take a deep breath, relax, and start out basic. is it writing or speaking?)

Star Inkbright said...

I'm shit at improvising French. XD Just try to memorise it as best you can :) and cut down paragraphs if necessary.

Bruadar Cadail said...

depending on the assessor, you might be able to score brownie points if you sound natural, rather than aim for technical perfection. Even if you screw up tenses and conjugation (god knows, I do) you can still pull through if you can sound like a francophone.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(Speaking.
I've mostly memorized my first two paragraphs.
I've memorized half of my third but that should answer that bullet point.
I'm fucked on my fourth and fifth.

You know what I don't care. French isn't worth the fuss. If I get a C I get a C, miss makes me resit and I maybe get better maybe not.)

Bruadar Cadail said...

(then dont bother with fourth and fifth. just do first two. Include the third if you think its worth it.)

Bruadar Cadail said...

(I've got to go. Good luck with the speaking. You'll be fine.)

Star Inkbright said...

Ugh I hate speaking assessments D: D: D: one of the worst experiences of my life.

:) A C is still a pass, too.
:) Good luck, either way.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(I'll do first second and what I remember of third. I've written down some prompts for fourth, vague ones but I know enough about umform to blag a bit of it, like veste and chemisier. Fifth is short so I can try.)

Star Inkbright said...

*nods*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(*returns from watching YouTube videos explaining almost everything to do with asexual/aromantic etc etc etc*
*nods*)

Star Inkbright said...

Ah dude I should have asked my question here. XD

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(That's okay star.


I don't often post links to YouTube but I really do recommend watching this because its just.. I think it's amazing.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(Don't let the title offput you.)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(My little brother says the weirdest things when he's asleep/half asleep.
He told me I was on a hospital ward once, and to wake up.
Today he just shouted please then mumbled something. When I asked him what he said he replied just plesse and mumbled again.
Then when mum came out of the bathroom he shouted mum and said he'd miss her.
I talked to him about two minutes later and he doesn't remember this.)

*leaves hugs*

*let's not forget the cookies and tea either*
Just wanted to pop up for a comment. Hope everyone's doing okay. Bye again.

Noelle said...

Was that for me, Gemma?

Inky Flame said...

Inky Flame said...

(Wish I had that kind of money )

Star Inkbright said...

THE FUCK
HOW
*SHOCK*

Inky Flame said...

(That's insane..)

Star Inkbright said...

Are you sure you didn't mean £41.40?

Star Inkbright said...

Dude. Spent all day satirically complaining about oppression with Cat.

It's FABULOUS.

We came home and started doing it on WhatsApp too
[07/03 18:17] Holly: ((Dude. You know at lunch today I was holding a few sheets of paper up to my face and my hand kept jerking and I was like "I think I've given my nose a papercut"? Well I just looked in the mirror and I have literally cut my nose. There's like blood.
Dude. This head jerking is injuring me! It's oppression!))
[07/03 18:18] Catherine: ((Omg Holly you should totally complain that's oppression.))
[07/03 18:19] Lizzie: ((Wtf))
[07/03 18:22] Holly: ((IT IS OPPRESSION! I'm having to deal with my head papercutting my nose! Are you having that issue? No! It's inequality! It's a fundament hierachal system set up to oppress me!
Why isn't the government giving me better support against this issue? I tell you why. It's because they support the oppressive system!
*feels victimised :(*))
[07/03 18:23] Holly: ((*mutters angrily about oppression*))
[07/03 18:24] Catherine: ((No it's all wrong. Oppression is wrong they should totally compensate you.))
[07/03 18:24] Holly: ((@Cat: Ikr! It's only fair that I should be compensated to make up for this issue!))
[07/03 18:25] Holly: ((But wait. Then I get compensation and you don't.))
[07/03 18:25] Holly: ((OPPRESSION!))
[07/03 18:25] Catherine: ((I can't believe they'd oppress me like that! I need compensation too!))
[07/03 18:25] Holly: ((Ikr! WE SHOULD ALL BE GIVEN FREE MONEY!))
[07/03 18:26] Catherine: ((But wait what if we don't want free money! That's oppression!))
[07/03 18:26] Holly: ((OMG!))
[07/03 18:27] Holly: ((There should be free money AVAILABLE to everyone))
[07/03 18:27] Lizzie: ((The hell is going on))
[07/03 18:27] Holly: ((@Lizzie: Oppression!))
[07/03 18:27] Catherine: ((But that means we'd get it at different times! That's oppression!))
[07/03 18:27] Holly: ((@Cat: Omg!

The money should only be made available at 9 am every day))
[07/03 18:28] Holly: ((But what if you want it at a different time?))
[07/03 18:28] Holly: ((OPPRESSION!))
[07/03 18:29] Holly: ((You know what. The phrase "omg", shortened from Oh My God, is oppressive. It only mentions God and not Allah or . . . or any of the others! But all religions should be acknowledged equally!

Oh my God/Allah/Buddha/others! Oppression!))
[07/03 18:30] Catherine: ((Crap maybe we should just not give out free money at all to avoid this oppression.))
[07/03 18:30] Catherine: ((Omg I'm so oppressive!))
[07/03 18:30] Holly: ((@Cat; But what if you want money? Oppression!))
[07/03 18:30] Holly: ((We shouldn't infringe upon people's right to have free money for no reason!
[07/03 18:31] Holly: ((@Cat: DO NOT USE THAT HARMFUL AND DISCRIMINATIVE ABBREVIATION
[07/03 18:31] Holly: ((YOU OPPRESSOR))
[07/03 18:33] Catherine: ((You're oppressing me by not allowing me to oppress! Oppression!))
[07/03 18:33] Lizzie: (Ndjsjaoebakwbqkwb. Stop fighting I'm scared))
[07/03 18:34] Catherine: ((She's oppressing me!))
[07/03 18:34] Holly: ((Oh no! *looks shocked* oh cat I so much apologise for oppressing you

@Lizzie: Do not oppress us by infringing upon our right to complain about oppression!
[07/03 18:34] Lizzie: ((Your oppressing fandoming!))
[07/03 18:34] Catherine: ((Holly don't force your apology upon me it's so oppressive!))

Dude. Dying of laughter.

*sighs and goes to watch tv*

Noelle said...

I'm just fairly convinced. I don't think she likes me, and I just want to know.

Star Inkbright said...

@Noelle: *nods* Fairy nuff.
It wouldn't um. Be unusual if she didn't come online again for a while though. So.

Edward Fletcher said...

Noelle, how is you?

Edward Fletcher said...

And star, how is you?

Noelle said...

That's possible.

But I mean, I just want to know whether or not my being upset is sound

Noelle said...

hey ed

To be 100% honest, brutally, I'm probably in the deepest rut since August. Which feels awful.

Great stuff..

Edward Fletcher said...

Ah...I know it's not much but you are one of the kindest people, you welcomed me here and made me feel like a part of this place, thank you

Edward Fletcher said...

Inky Flame said...

(May I just say, how amazing Jack is
He is so selfless, helping those who need it despite his own stress
He always has time to help others
He deserves so much love and happiness)

Chione Asahina said...

Not specifically you, Noelle. Mostly me. I just can't say what i want on this blog anymore without deleting it or being judged. I've been on every day. I saw your comment this afternoon. I've just had a lot to do. I should be studying but i can't be fucked. I just want to wing it.

Which is exactly why i smirked and nodded.

Star Inkbright said...

*looks confused*
*frowns*

*Sorry*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(I have nothing to do.
I'm so bored.)

Inky Flame said...

(I have to revise later -_-)

Star Inkbright said...

@Jai: Revise? Read a book? Write a book? Draw? Complain about oppression?

Noelle said...

It hurt so much to see Fiona... She was crying so hard.

... As an all-girls school, many senior events are mother-daughter events..
And Fiona can't have that now

Noelle said...

They are really proud of their Irish heritage, too. Fiona irish dances.

They were playing bagpipes... That didn't help.

Star Inkbright said...

@Noelle: :/ . . . *looks sympathetic* :( :(
